Chicago, ILL, March 9.-The wheat

fell off 10 85c and held quite steadily
between Soc snd S53c, until the alter
noon session, when there was a severe
break TO $751;, followed by u recovery
to SAGE, where the market rested for
the day. The feeling is very unset
tied and feverish, and there continues
to be the usual amount of specu' alton
as to agencies which control the
market. The buying orders coming
on the market were mora numerous
than usual, and affected the
course Of values somewhat, but local
specu' ators, acting for themselves,
or outsiders, appeared to hold the key
to prices. The 'shorts" interest il
conceded to be extraordinarily large,
and it is intimated that among the
chief OF them are three or four big
firms that have been on the "bear"
side OF the market for four or five
years. The foreign advices were
rather unfavorable and the quantity
of wheat on ocean passage showed an
inc ease of 100, 600 bushels. The
C earrings rom the seabo ard were 247,-
600 bushels. The more deferred
